In which settings do CPS typically provide services?

• A. Community-based, outpatient clinics, inpatient settings, and recovery-oriented programs.
• B. Only hospitals.
• C. School classrooms.
• D. Online telehealth only.

Answer: (A)

CPS work across a wide range of settings because peer support is most effective when it meets people where they are. This means providing services in community-based environments, at outpatient clinics, inside inpatient or hospital settings, and within recovery-oriented programs that focus on ongoing wellness and supports. In these varied contexts, CPSs help with motivation, connection to resources, navigating services, and sustaining recovery, all grounded in their lived experience. The idea that services are confined to hospitals, schools, or online only doesn't reflect how broadly peers are integrated into care teams to assist people across the continuum of care.
